On the east side of the river bank, Qing Xinyao and a group of senior officials from Xichuan stood on the stone and waited silently.
Next to them was Zhou Youda and a group of squires.
Almost all the senior figures in Xichuan are here. If someone throws a bomb here now, I am afraid that Xichuan's military, political and commercial system will be paralyzed.
Although Jin Feng didn't say anything, he was still very happy in his heart. He also suddenly understood why some leaders in the past life went out and the people below would rather be scolded than make such a big show.
Isn't it strange that there are so many people attending the ceremony? Today's lavish reception is already the highest standard in this place, which is enough to show that Qing Xinyao attaches great importance to Jin Feng's visit.
No wonder those leaders scolded their subordinates for being extravagant and ostentatious, and then later mentioned the subordinates who handled the matter.
Qing Xinyao was indeed not just a reckless man who only knew how to fight, but a reckless man who was well versed in people's hearts and officialdom, and also knew how to flatter leaders.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the shore, the ship slowly approached the dock.
As soon as the big ship stopped, Qing Xinyao led people to greet him in front of the decking and took the lead in saluting: "Welcome Mr. Jin to Xichuan!"
"Welcome Mr. Jin to Xichuan!"
Everyone behind him also saluted.
If it had been in the past, if someone had taken the initiative to salute, Jin Feng would have quickly returned the salute and said some kind words.
However, under the influence of the Ninth Princess, Mr. Jin Feng is no longer a novice in officialdom. He knows that in some public places, when it is time to maintain dignity, he must maintain dignity.
So he didn't pay attention to the people who were saluting, but looked at Qing Xinyao with a dark face: "Mr. Qing, I'm just passing by here to take a look. Why are you working so hard to create such a grand display?"
"Mr. Mingjian, this was really not arranged by me. Everyone knew that you were coming, sir, and voluntary organizations came to greet you, sir!"
Qing Xinyao cupped his hands and said, "Sir, if you don't believe me, just ask them!"
"Yes, Mr. Jin, we came here voluntarily!"
"Mr. Jin, with his rich body, went to the front line to fight bloody battles with an enemy several times more powerful. When we heard about it, we all admired him!" an5
"Sir, he is not only brave, good at fighting and resourceful, but he also governs the country in a wise manner. The people are all grateful!"
"Yes, Mr. Jin built water conservancy projects and benefited countless people!"
"Speaking of water conservancy, I visited Dujiangyan some time ago. I was really shocked! Who would have thought that Mr. would dig a hole in Yulei Mountain and divert the water from Jinma River to Sichuan?"
"It's true what Brother Liang said. Floods occur every year along the Jinma River, but there is water shortage in the middle of Sichuan year after year. This move by Mr. Liang has solved these two huge problems at once. He is truly unparalleled in his ingenuity!"
"Not only that, your master's attainments in poetry are also unfathomable. Every time I think of your master's exquisite lines, I feel deeply!"
"Although we have never met, I have always regarded Mr. Jin as a good mentor and helpful friend. If Mr. Jin is coming to Xichuan, why don't I come to welcome him?"
"What Brother Zhongsu said is absolutely true. When I learned that Mr. Jin was coming, I was so excited that I didn't sleep for two nights!"
…
Everyone behind Qing Xinyao praised Jin Feng loudly.
It was as if Jin Feng was really their mentor and helpful friend.
Although Jin Feng knew that most of these people were just flattering, seeing the sincere expressions on their faces and talking about some of the things he had done, Jin Feng still felt very useful.
There is no other way, he is just a common man. He is a poor reader.
However, Jin Feng was still rational and did not lose himself in the flattery, but felt emotional in his heart.
Sure enough, after becoming successful and famous, all the people I meet are good people.
Among the people who praised him and said that he was a good teacher and helpful friend, there were many old scholars who went to Damanang Slope to point at him and scold him because he wanted to take in a refugee girl.
Now those people say nothing about that incident.
Jin Feng waved his hand to interrupt everyone's compliments and said loudly: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to greet Jin. Jin is very grateful!
Nowadays, there are many people outside Sichuan and Shu who are living in dire straits. Although Jin is not talented, he is willing to do his little bit for the people of the world, even if he dies!
However, since Jin came out this time and was pressed for time, he did not ask everyone for advice one by one. I hope you will forgive me!
When the world is truly at peace, and after I forge swords into plow horses and set them free in the Nanshan Mountains, I will come to Xichuan again and get drunk with you all before resting!"
"Well said sir!"
"Sir, your mind is really broad!"
"Sir, please help yourself!"
…
Everyone below knew clearly that Jin Feng was perfunctory, but they still bowed their hands and saluted.
Jin Feng nodded towards everyone, then turned to look at Qing Xinyao.
Qing Xinyao quickly made a gesture of invitation: "Sir, the carriage is ready. Please, sir and madam, move over here!"
Jin Feng nodded and led Tang Xiaobei and Runniang towards the carriage.
The people waiting next to the carriage were not Qing Xinyao's people, but the bodyguards sent by the Ninth Princess in advance.
Zuo Feifei was still with Iron Hammer, leading a team of female workers and musketeers to guard both sides of the carriage.
The group of people quickly walked along the official road to Mao'er Mountain.
Jin Feng opened the curtains and pointed at Mao'er Mountain to tell Tang Xiaobei and Runniang about the original battle.
That was the first time the bodyguard exposed his black armor. At that time, hundreds of people held back thousands of the enemy's elite soldiers, and the fight was extremely dangerous.
Even now, when viewed from a distance, the mountain top where the fiercest battle was fought is still dark red, and the newly sprouted weeds are more lush than other places.
The motorcade continued to move forward, and after turning around the foot of a mountain, Runniang suddenly covered her mouth while looking at the scenery!
I saw on the hillside not far away, densely packed with tombstones, like woods, covering the hillside! Read a book
"The Damangpo Martyrs Cemetery has arrived!"
Tang Xiaobei, who always liked to fool around in front of Jin Feng, became solemn when he came here and explained: "Here are buried the heroes and common people who died in the Battle of Damangpo!"
"I know, but I didn't expect there to be so many!"
Runniang's eyes were filled with shock.
After the Battle of Damangpo, Guan Xiaorou arranged for her to take care of Jin Feng. The cemetery had been built at that time.
The wedding of Han Feng and Shi Lingyun was held on the same day as the martyrs' burial. Runniang also attended, and the memory was very profound.
However, due to limited time at that time, after the martyrs and common people were buried, there was almost no time to erect monuments due to the limited number of masons. The tombs were not very high and did not look obvious.
Later, Mancang arranged for someone to open a cement factory not far away, which could produce cement tombstones in batches. That's why the forest of tombstones now exists.
Looking at the densely packed tombstones, Jin Feng couldn't help but recall the scene of the battle at Damanangpo.
He reached out and knocked on the carriage window: "Stop!"
"Sir, what's wrong?"
The hammer quickly came forward.
"We're at the cemetery. I'll walk over and see my brothers!"
Jin Feng opened the door and got out of the carriage.
